Is this a robber fly? That 3rd antennal segment seems nice and long, and it looks like the face may be bearded.

Unfortunately this is the only photo I was able to get of this fly.

Thank-you in advance for any ID help.

Hi Stephen
Cerotania, almost certainly albipilosa (Asilidae)

Nice shots (especially #3!) of Cerotania albipilosa - as Tony and Black have indicated.
Good work Stephen,

Eric
